The brilliant Giant's Causeway won this for Ballydoyle in 1999 but it's impossible to imagine Eagle Canyon winning six Group 1's as he did. The son of Montjeu has been tried over longer trips recently with no real progress and may find a couple of these too speedy for him. Krivan is also dropping back in trip but looked a little one-paced at Gowran last time so this can go to WANDERING HEART. Francis Ennis' speedily-bred filly made a very promising debut against much more experienced rivals over this trip at the Curragh and normal improvement can see her home here. Fierce Cry is bred to be effective over much further and made an ordinary debut over 1m1f at Ballinrobe and Batchelors Star may do better as he ran quite well on his first start at Dundalk in April.
